Astral Love

by Amaterasu

Prologue


They stood there, face to face. The woman's eyes begged while the man remained stoic and firm.

" Please Izanagi! Remove this rock, let me live with you!!!" the wife cried out as she raked her nails against the rock.

Izanagi shook his head " Don't you understand? You ate the fruit of the Underworld! You can not set foot on our land again "

" But... I ate only one!! Please Izanagi, I thought you love me!" Izanami screamed, her eyes flashing

" No matter. You know what Kami said. Once you eat the fruit of the Underworld, you are dead. To the world, to your children and to me."

Izanami stared at him in horror. " My children! Who will take care of them? " she sobbed uncontrollably, her slim body wracked in pain and misery.

Izanagi looked at her and immediately his eyes started to fill with tears. He'd give anything to save her from this... he turned away and prepared to walk away. He halted when he heard her soft voice call his name. He turned.

He encountered her, eyes filled with menace and malice and not quite sane " I'll haunt you for the rest of our lives Izanagi. I swear to you, we will be reincarnated and you will feel the pain I feel now, over and over, you'll feel it with me !" she released a short humorless laugh and was pulled by the shadows into the darkness.

Izanagi sank to his knees " Oh Kami, what have I done? "


jap terms

Kami- God

* Izanami and Izanagi are considered to be the first people on earth acording to a certain book on jap mythology. They are brother and sister who were demi-Gods that made the earth, sun and moon, which are their children.Initially, the sun-god, Amaterasu, I think, was the cause why Izanami died. Her arrival burned Izanami and brought her to the underworld. Unfortunately, Izanami ate the fruit of the underworld.
